Third party candidates push for injunction

Cheyenne, WY (KGWN) A candidate for Wyoming secretary of state is asking a federal judge to block the state from enforcing a fundraising prohibition that only affects third-party candidates.

Jennifer Young of Torrington is the Constitution Party candidate for secretary of state. She and Pine Bluffs resident Donald Wills on Wednesday asked a federal judge to grant a preliminary injunction against the state.

Steve Klein, lawyer with the Wyoming Liberty Group, says the lawsuit seeks to overturn a prohibition on third-party candidates accepting political contributions before the Aug. 19 primary while major party candidates face no such restriction.
